On line live chat is providing one of the best service channels for supporting customers need on their shopping excursion, from first contact through post-sale support. However making the decision on live chat requires effort on behalf of the business.

Live chat usage is directly and strongly correlated with age. When incorporating live chat at your site the first basic question which you should put up to yourself is, “ if we put live chat on our site. Will customers use it?”

According to the survey carried out . The answer to this is “yes”. 56% of users admit of using live chat at least once to get the answer through a company’s website while more than 39% say they have used it more than once. The data collected was also analyzed on the basis of common demographic variables like age, gender, income, geographic location etc. The one variable that is mostly impacted by live chat usage is age.

Here is the graph highlighting the relationship between age and live chat usage. This implies that customer age is an important factor for live chat preferences.
